Briefly

A new master plan for Estadio da Luz in Lisbon has been unveiled by Populous in collaboration with Saraiva + Associados. Commissioned by S.L. Benfica, the project focuses on upgrading the stadium while adding mixed-use and public facilities in the surrounding area. The design aims for completion in time for significant international events, including the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The redevelopment will modernize the 2004 stadium, introducing new amenities like an indoor arena, sports halls, a swimming pool, and a theater, all contributing to community needs and sustainability.
The comprehensive master plan introduces a wide range of new amenities, public spaces, and mixed-use facilities, supporting both Benfica's long-term financial sustainability and its community-focused mission.
Completion is expected in alignment with upcoming international sporting events, including the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
The redevelopment modernizes the stadium, repositioning it as part of a larger venue-anchored district and responding to community needs.
Architectural updates will include a redesigned facade featuring integrated programmable LED lighting and a new outer envelope that reduces solar heat gain.
